Hello Roland and Erik, thanks for your replies...
what do you mean by writing different segments in the same directory? I thought i was creating a new simulation for every run I do and then simply changing the output directory to a data directory in the Simulations folder where the respective simulation resides...is that the wrong way of thinking about it? maybe i am over complicating things as well...i just realised that the simfactory is using the parfile inside the simulation_name folder, so i guess outputting to "../../data" will get me to the right directory.. best wishes, Vassili On Wed, Feb 5, 2014 at 5:27 PM, Erik Schnetter <[email protected]>wrote: > On Feb 5, 2014, at 11:19 , Roland Haas <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Signed PGP part > > Hello Vassili, > > > > > sorry to keep bothering you... > > No problem.
